Operation for calcaneus deformity after surgery for club foot

SS Wijesinha and MB Menelaus

Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia.

We describe three patients who developed gross calcaneus deformity following surgery for talipes equinovarus. One also had an associated valgus deformity and another had supination of the forefoot; all had intractable problems with footwear. Operation for transfer of the tibialis anterior to the heel, with correction of the associated deformities, was successful and improved both their gait and the shoe problems.
